Soon to be employed?

I just finished brushing up two different cover letters for two different Publixes. One is for the store Sam recommended because he used to work with the guy who manages it and the other is for a store a little closer to his house. I'm hoping with that I'll be able to move in with him. So we'll see. I'm hoping I'll make enough, short drive will help now, to be able to contribute $400 a month to stay in the house.

On a different note, my aunt and mom were talking today about getting someone to stay with my Grandpa I think mostly at night at either his assisted living center or the house. He has Alzheimer's/Dementia and is quickly getting worse. My mom and aunt are looking to "recruit" me once my stint at the stadium ends here on Tuesday. They're talking about paying me $10 an hour. A perk is that I won't have taxes coming out of that. Plus, they know me and I think that was one of their larger issues, getting someone who was aware of his situation. So I don't think I really have a choice in that matter.

Another option, though wouldn't be high paying but still tax free would be dog sitting again for the couple I was sitting for end of last year and beginning of this year. I had to stop because my stadium position caused conflicts in the scheduling. They got another sitter but she was going back up to college I guess last week now. They had contacted me probably at the start of August to see if I could sit with their dogs again. I would like to tell them yes, but I really can't sustain myself on $5 an hour (if that's still the rate) and expect to move in with Sam. I could give them my schedule if they need me as a backup sitter, if scheduling doesn't conflict that is.

I just wish I could do it all and please everyone :)

Huzzah!

The last time I was at the Florida Renaissance Festival (FLaRF) was in 2009 with Holly and Heather. I didn't go last year because of work at the stadium and this year is going to turn out the same, sadly. I haven't had the time to work on my costume either. My costumes are more on the fantasy side and are not period accurate, but I don't mind. I would like to have a period appropriate piece but I don't want to give up my fox tail! (seen below) The comments are fun too!!

I would like to take it a step further and construct some ears for myself. I'd wear them on a headband so they would cover my people ears. I was going to start working on them last year but time kind of got away from me. So anyways, I'm shooting for 2012 and with hopefully a completed costume.

Its kind of weird now that I think about it. I don't even remember not going to the faire last year. So sad. I remember posting a status this year about not going and Heather (I knew she would be the first to comment) said it was the saddest thing she had heard all year. I miss the faire. It was such a nice weekend getaway, since I would usually leave on a Friday (when I was up at school) stay with my Aunt Inc, go to the faire on Saturday for the day and then relax a little on Sunday before heading back up to school or home. How can you not love the faire? Its the perfect escape from reality and everyday stress or worry.

All this reminiscing is nice but man does time fly by on a Sunday morning/afternoon. I have to get ready to go and watch a couple's pair of dogs at 2p.
